Really enjoying seeing all your photos of bird families.
Thank you so much. Really appreciate it 🙂
I arrived here by chance and I felt lucky because I liked what I found. Good luck with all your projects.
I would like also to invite you to have a walk in “El zoco del escriba” and have a the with me and discuss about whatever you prefer.

Hello Alberto,
Thank you for your comment. I am happy you enjoyed my photography.
I look forward to reading your blog too.
Best wishes,
Takami
It’s nice to support each other, Takami.
U bent een kunstenaar met een hele grote K, want het is KUNST op het niveau van Rembrandt van Rijn. Ik weet . . . , dat er echt wel wat om de hoek komt kijken, voor het perfecte plaatje. En dan zit je op die zandplaat van het Markermeer tegenover Edam/Volendam of Rotterdam/Amsterdam en dan gaat het betrekken.

Thank you for your warm comment and greetings 🙂 I will continue to strive for the next level in photography.
I am happy to follow your blog with great pleasure, and give warm wishes from Japan.

Thank you! 🙂
Weird and charming at the same time.😊 I also like the Richard Bach quote.
I’m glad you liked it 🙂
You caught the action!
It was a wonderful moment 🙂
Beautiful!
Thank you! 🙂
Seeing the chicks ride piggy-back on their parents is so much fun. It’s wonderful that you captured this feeding moment on top of it, Takami. You must have had a good hiding place.
Thank you Tanja 🙂
Yes, it is great fun to see the chicks climb up and or beneath their parents’ backs and wings. Very tender and touching. Fortunately, I did have a good hiding place and I was careful to not disturb them for too long 😉
Hello Takami.
How lovely and touching photos! I do love them.
Have a wonderful day!

Very beautiful !!! 👍 👍 👍
Thank you! 🙂 ❤️
Lovely
Thank you. These dabchicks are very charming birds 🙂
A remarkable quote, matched to outstanding photos. Excellent.
Thank you Peter. The quote touched me deeply. I feel that humans often abuse “family” and relationships for the worst reasons, and sadly, this includes blood relatives. Really appreciate you comment as always!
Such lovely photos, perfect for this Thanksgiving holiday!
Hello Mr. Hien,
I am so happy to see your comment. Thank you for spending a moment with this Little Grebe family. I hope you had a good Thanksgiving holiday.
Best wishes, Takami
Beautifully captured, love the second image.
Thank you very much Brian. Really appreciate your visit and comment.
Wow. How amazing – you must have sat tight for a long time waiting to see the tiny little baby being fed, and how touching to witness these hardworking and protective parents taking such good care of the young.
Thank you Carol.
I appreciate your visit and warm response to this series! It is as you say, I had to stay put for many hours in the cold and rain. But it was worth every minute. It was a real privilege to get a glimpse into the lives of this dabchick family. All the more so, because they had just survived one of the worst typhoons in Japan. Of course, I took care to not ‘overstay’ my welcome.
Thank you again, for your comment! 🙂
Best wishes, Takami
I can see that it was definitely worth it and a privilege as you say.
And I hope that all is well with you and your neighbourhood in the aftermath of the typhoon.
Super Pictures. Gratulation.
Thank you! 🙂
